Theeternal magic of Bholi soorat dil ke khote

Theeternal magic of Bholi soorat dil ke khote

Afilm's music determines its success in today's time. If the songs arepopular, there are more than enough chances of the audience being drawn to theatres. The same was true in the 1950s too. A prime example of this is the Bhagwan Dada film Albela which has gems like Shola Jo Bhadke and Bholi Soorat Dil Ke Khote. 

Veryfew songs are called evergreen and from amongst the 11 songs ofAlbela, these two are listened to and enjoyed even today. Even Ganpati visarjan processions are incomplete without Bholi Soorat being played at least once. 

Manyactors have become famous for their unique dance steps. Be it RishiKapoor, Prabhudeva, Mithun Chakraborty or even Amitabh Bachchan,their trademark steps are replicated even today. But all of them drewtheir steps from someone whose name we might not even remember today-Bhagwan Abaji Palav aka Bhagwan Dada. Despite becoming a star post Albela, Bhagwan Dada's name is not recounted among the dancing superstars, today. But he is the one who introduced the film industryto the concept of dance choreography.

Now,viewers are in for a treat again as the songs have been recreated forthe Bhagwan Dada biopic Ekk Albela. The biopic which releases on June24 will take you back in time to the 50s with Mangesh Desaiplaying Bhagwan Dada and Vidya Balan as Geeta Bali. Are you ready forsome nostalgia?
